Shall We Monitor His Lizards?

A teenage boy who keeps dozens of reptiles in the garage of his parents' house in West Lothian, Scotland, has added two of the world's rarest lizards to his collection. Jordan Davidson, 14, has bearded dragons, bosc monitors, uromastyx, chameleons and a royal python he was given as a Christmas present. He also has 25 baby dragons, 20 hatchlings and 27 eggs in an incubator. He has now bought two endangered Fiji iguanas, which he hopes to be able to breed. He hopes to donate the lizards, which he has named Rhubarb and Custard, to Edinburgh Zoo after breeding them.

FOOTNOTE: He's not dragon his heels.
